I have nothing against the WMB. Yes it has major issues with maintenance and a need for some sort of moderation which are two reasons why I really like HF. However there are some good posters over there and some who post at both places (jagged is one example off the top of my head) and with an internet community that's tiny compared to other NHL teams there's no reason to complain about other small factions.
While I'm very happy that HF Wild has pretty much been built from nothing (and I love taking on challenges and things like that) to become the largest Wild community online, the State of Hockey is big enough for two boards. If more people post on WMB power to them - I just wish every NHL talk thread wasn't three posts of actual hockey talk and three pages of complaining about the maintenance or a poster who should be banned.
100% agree. I've invited some here, but if they prefer to stay over there, I greatly respect their decision. Personally, I can't see ever returning over there. Zero desire to step back into that mess. Miss the people, but don't miss the board, its crappy software, lack of maintenance, and its constant drama. The hockey talk forum was killed due to drama.
Thankfully many of the regulars over there are trickling over to this board.

I would not call it a trickle. I would call it abandoning a sinking ship.
Sad really. I've visited the Sharks official NHL board and it is run perfectly. Too bad the Wild could not be bothered to do that.

Pretty much. It's been a constant trickle for most of the last two years as people get fed up with one thing or another. My take is pretty simple on a board - if you can't have fun in something you are interested in, then what's the point?

Well if you watch the scene closely you can see that when they both tried to climb on to the piece of wood it wouldn´t stay on the surface. Then jack has this "Oh S###" face and then he helps rose get on the piece of wood and doesn´t try to get on it anymore.
